An information processor includes a generation section that generates a specified character string on the basis of at least one of voice information corresponding to a content of speech detected by a voice detection section and vehicle information acquired from a vehicle. With this configuration, a user can input the specified character string, which is a hashtag, without an operation. Thus, compared to the related art in which the hashtag is generated on the basis of the operation (manual input) by the user, a burden on the user can significantly be reduced, and an input error can be prevented.
